CHAPTER 497: CHAPTER 236 CONFUSION_2

Kidding, I’m now someone who has a foot in both the underworld and the mortal world.

Above, even the hardworking spirits of the Foolish Underworld must obey my commands.

Below, I have a bunch of monstrous underlings with infinite strength, what’s moving house to them.

Thump thump thump.

Just then, there came a knocking at the door.

Fang Yu went to open it, and lo and behold, it was the personnel from the Foolish Underworld who came to investigate.

As they saw Fang Yu about to ask routine questions, he took out his Identity Card.

"Yang... Yangshen Hall’s Inspector Lord!"

The people were so frightened that they hurriedly paid their respects.

Not everyone in the Foolish Underworld recognizes Fang Yu.

But the Identity Card is universally recognized.

Fang Yu found it strange, as personnel from the Foolish Underworld in charge of his area are usually acquaintances.

But he didn’t recognize these few.

[Biao Zhengzhi: 152/152.]

[Jia Wenli: 68/68.]

[Li Yingsi: 75/75.]

[Tumen: 51/51.]

Judging from their health bars, except for the one leading with a hundred health, the others all had just tens of health, very weak overall.

Fang Yu didn’t take it to heart.

He asked nonchalantly,

"Which Households Commander’s men are you with?"

The few exchanged glances and lowered their heads to reply,

"Replying to the Lord, we are subordinates to Liu Yong, Households Commander Liu."

Thousand... Households?

Fang Yu was stunned.

In the Foolish Underworld, he had only seen Hundred Households at most.

He had never seen a Thousand Households.

After all, before becoming an Inspector at Yangshen Hall, the highest he went was to come into contact with Li Baizhen, a Hundred Households.

Then with rapid progress, he got mixed up in Yangshen Hall; all that about Thousand Households seemed to be a different position from his own. Naturally, he was in the dark.

What kind of power does a Thousand Households wield?

And how does it compare to my position as an Inspector at Yangshen Hall?

Fang Yu really had no idea.

The biggest problem was, why on earth did this Thousand Households send someone to investigate a minor case over here?

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Fang Yu felt something was not right.

Suddenly, he felt somewhat indecisive about the decision to move.

But in the end, he decided to stick with his initial thoughts.

After all, the people from the Foolish Underworld are still people, there’s some semblance of rules, unlike demons who would eat people on a whim, with no room for negotiation.

"You lot, run an errand for me, go to the Foolish Underworld and call for [Mi Hengpeng] or Che Linfang, tell them to send more people over. Also, you don’t need to investigate this case anymore, I’ll take over."

"This..."

The few exchanged looks, appearing somewhat perplexed.

It wasn’t until Fang Yu’s gaze became slightly pressuring that they bowed and complied.

The people withdrew, yet Fang Yu did not step out, instead choosing to stay at home, planning to wait for people to arrive before discussing further.

The door shut once more, and his second sister immediately crowded in.

"Are you going to investigate Aunt Chen’s case? Could it be dangerous? That demon has eaten Aunt Chen’s whole family, it must be incredibly powerful, you should call more people to help, and don’t act recklessly!"

That demon has already been chopped up; what danger could there be?

There should be remains of the demon at the scene, but who knows how these people have investigated.

But that’s correct, even if there are demon remains at the scene, there’s no saying what the situation could be, so an investigation is still necessary.

After comforting his second sister for a while, [Mi Hengpeng] and [Che Linfang] arrived rather quickly, galloping over.

Upon seeing Fang Yu, Che Linfang subtly sent him a glance.

Fang Yu, however, ignored her.

"Mi Hengpeng."

Fang Yu went up and patted him on the shoulder.

"I’m moving today, you take your brothers and help my second sister move the furniture, by sunset today, have my second sister moved into the Foolish Underworld."

Mi Hengpeng was slightly startled, then nodded in agreement.

He thought he was called over to assist with the case.

It never occurred to him that he was here to do some heavy lifting.

But on second thought, this was also an expression of the Lord’s trust in him.

In the past, he wouldn’t have had the qualifications to stand here and receive orders from a Yangshen Hall Lord.

A man ought to be content, and Mi Hengpeng was indeed content and knew his place.

He called people over to start busying themselves.

He even arranged for wheelbarrows to be called over in advance.

He then approached Diao Ruru.

"Lord Diao Ruru, please provide some guidance as to which items should be moved and which should not be touched."

Diao Ruru had never seen such a display of power and was a bit panicked and at a loss, her eyes seeking help from Fang Yu.

"Second sister, it’s okay, just tell him to take whatever you need, he’ll handle it properly. Also, if some things are old, just throw them away, we can buy new ones when we get there."

"Mm...okay."

Ultimately, having Fang Yu by her side gave Diao Ruru some courage.

She held the hem of her clothes with both hands, lowered her head, and spoke crisply.

"Th-this table... move it out first..."

Although it was somewhat awkward, Diao Ruru still started to give orders.

Familiarity comes with experience, after all.

Fang Yu believed that his second sister would adapt.

After all, when they arrived at the Foolish Underworld, they would have to hire maids to serve the second sister, so it was good to get used to giving orders.

"Sir, about this case..."

Mi Hengpeng still seemed a bit reluctant to just do these menial tasks and leaned in to ask.

"Don’t worry, you handle the moving first, and when it’s done, I’ll leave the case to you to investigate and handle. I’ll have Che Linfang compile some information first, and she will assist you later."

Mi Hengpeng immediately showed joy.

The sir still values him!

"Thank you for your mentorship, Sir!"

Fang Yu nodded slightly, then gave Che Linfang a look.

"Come, Che Linfang, let’s go outside to discuss the details of this case."

"Yes."

The two left, but the second sister stared at Che Linfang’s retreating figure.

"That girl, she’s quite pretty."

Mi Hengpeng overheard this and said with a smile.

"Her name is Che Linfang, she was just like me before, nothing special. It was only after the sir took office that she was entrusted with important tasks."

"Really..."

The second sister always felt that those two seemed to have a close relationship?

Although not as close as Ding Hui, certainly not a regular superior-subordinate relationship.

The second sister was suddenly conflicted.

She felt that Fang Yu being fickle was not right, that it was unfair to Ding Hui.

But she also felt that with Fang Yu’s current status, being young and successful, besides Ding Hui, it seemed okay to take a concubine.

Her heart was torn between Ding Hui and Fang Yu.

Finally, she stamped her foot and decided to seek justice for Ding Hui.

"When Diao Deyi returns, I’ll give him a piece of my mind!"

She remembered how much Ding Hui had done for Diao Deyi, taking care of her and Diao Deyi, putting in so much effort, and they were already living together, it was all ambiguous, and now if he was having an affair, it was definitely wronging Doctor Ding, that was not right!

But Diao Ruru waited and waited, yet Fang Yu and the other did not return for a long time.

Instead, immersed in the rhythm of moving fueled by Mi Hengpeng’s continuous questioning.

Meanwhile.

Once they left the house, Fang Yu led Che Linfang straight outside.

It wasn’t until they reached a deserted street that they started to speak in low voices.

"What’s the deal with that demon?"

"What?"

Che Linfang was taken aback.

"It’s a subordinate of the Red Moon Demon! It was living around me and I got rid of it as soon as I discovered it."

Che Linfang then realized what was going on.

She hadn’t expected that, thinking that the demons nearby should all be their own, wondering how someone suddenly got rid of one.

"The Red Moon Demon never changes its nature, eh? It’s already seen your formidable strength and still dares... Sir, if it really makes you angry, we might as well confront her! Make her pay the price!"

"With your current strength and prestige, the Red Moon Demon wouldn’t dare to confront you."

Hmm?

I’m that awesome now?

I remember when the Red Moon Demon used to push me around, and then just slapped me down with one blow.

Now it’s turned into the Red Moon Demon being at my mercy.

What a turn of fate.

"No rush, today the Crimson Hammer Giant Ape Spirit and the Blue Hammer Giant Ape Spirit are supposed to pledge allegiance to me, right? Just perfect, let them lead the team, go to the Red Moon Demon for an explanation. At the same time, test their sincerity."

Fang Yu said indifferently.

Che Linfang immediately understood.

"Shall we head to the gathering place now? The personnel have already been notified to assemble, it’s just that there has been no word from your side, so it was put on hold."

"Alright, get it arranged then, I also want to see for myself if those demons pledging allegiance to me are truly sincere."

Che Linfang smiled.

"Whether they are sincere or not is hard to say, but they will definitely obey your orders."

This is the benefit of power.

In the world of demons, it’s the survival of the fittest.

Force is the best rationale.
